What is a Class 1 or Class 2 resubmission, and how did each play out in these records?

These records describe the classes only by review time: six months for Class 2, 60 days for Class 1. Replimune and Outlook each moved from a Class 2 review to a Class 1 resubmission; CorMedix and Aldeyra resubmissions were reviewed as Class 2.

Short answer

In these records the classes are described by their review periods: Outlook's and CorMedix's filings tie a Class 2 resubmission to a six-month review and a Class 1 to a 60-day one, and CorMedix linked the class it expected to whether a resubmission contained new data. Replimune's Class II resubmission ended in a second letter on its goal date; its later Class 1 resubmission ended in accelerated approval. Outlook's Class 2 review ended in a letter on its goal date; the outcome of its Class 1 resubmission is not in this record.

How the records connect

Four regulatory records, one question. The passages below show where the records converge and where they diverge; each card is a question in one company's record that quotes the same evidence.

What the evidence shows

What the records say the classes mean. Outlook, May 2025: The FDA has determined that the BLA is a Class 2 review, which results in a six-month review period from the date of resubmission. 8-K · May 15, 2025 Outlook, June 2026: a Class 1 resubmission with a PDUFA date and decision expected within 60 days of FDA’s receipt of the resubmission 8-K · Jun 1, 2026. CorMedix, in March and April 2023, set out what it expected to decide the class: Given that no new data would be contained in this resubmission, provided no additional site inspections are required, the Company believes this may be classified as a Class 1 submission with a 60-day review. 8-K · Mar 3, 2023 and As the submission will contain new manufacturing information, the Company expects it to be classified as a Class 2 resubmission with a 6-month review. 8-K · Apr 26, 2023 These are the companies' statements; none of these records quotes an FDA definition.

Replimune: Class II, then Class 1. we resubmitted the BLA on October 9, 2025 10-K · Jun 29, 2026; The PDUFA date set by the FDA is April 10, 2026 based on a Class II resubmission timeline. 8-K · Oct 20, 2025 The review ended with the second CRL issued by the FDA on April 10, 2026 10-K · Jun 29, 2026. Then: On June 26, 2026 we announced the FDA accepted the BLA resubmission as a Class 1 resubmission with an action date of August 2, 2026. The FDA also stated that they would convene an advisory committee meeting in late July 2026. 10-K · Jun 29, 2026 The committee voted 10 to 3 8-K · Jul 31, 2026, and the August 8-K announced that the FDA has granted accelerated approval for TUDRIQEV 8-K · Aug 7, 2026.

Outlook: Class 2, then Class 1. we resubmitted the BLA application for ONS-5010/LYTENAVA on February 27, 2025 10-K · Dec 19, 2025; The FDA set a PDUFA goal date of August 27, 2025. 8-K · May 15, 2025 The 10-K: received a subsequent CRL on August 27, 2025 10-K · Dec 19, 2025. After a further resubmission and letter, the appeal decision set the class of the next one: As indicated in the formal decision, it is anticipated that this will be a Class 1 resubmission 8-K · May 26, 2026. The company announced the resubmission of its Biologics License Application (BLA) 8-K · Jun 1, 2026 on June 1, 2026. Not in this record: an FDA action on it.

CorMedix: Class 2, twice. In 2022: The Agency considers the resubmission as a complete, Class 2 response with a six month review cycle. 8-K · Mar 28, 2022 That review ended in A second Complete Response Letter (CRL) 8-K · Aug 9, 2022. In 2023, as the company had expected, the resubmission was again Class 2: a complete, Class 2 response with a six-month review, and has assigned a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) target action date of November 15, 2023 8-K · Jun 21, 2023. On November 15, 2023, we announced that the FDA approved the new drug application 10-K · Mar 5, 2026.

Aldeyra: Class 2, extended. Following submission on June 16, 2025, the NDA was accepted for review as a “complete class 2 response” by the FDA on July 16, 2025, with a target PDUFA action date of December 16, 2025. 8-K · Dec 16, 2025 A late submission changed the clock: the field trial report was considered a major amendment to the NDA by the FDA 8-K · Dec 16, 2025, and The extended PDUFA target action date is March 16, 2026. 8-K · Dec 16, 2025 The review ended with the March 16, 2026 Complete Response Letter 8-K · Sep 29, 2026. How did a field trial left out of the June 2025 resubmission end up in the FDA's review?

Across the four records, each Class 2 review described here ended in either a Complete Response Letter (Replimune 2026, Outlook 2025, CorMedix 2022, Aldeyra 2026) or an approval (CorMedix 2023). The two Class 1 resubmissions here both followed a repeat letter: Replimune's after alignment with the FDA on a path forward, Outlook's after an appeal.

CorMedix Form 8-K, filed August 9, 2022

A second Complete Response Letter (CRL) was received from the FDA stating that the DefenCath NDA cannot be approved until deficiencies recently conveyed to the contract manufacturing organization (CMO) and the supplier of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) heparin during inspections are resolved to the satisfaction of FDA. There were no other deficiencies related to DefenCath cited in the CRL, and the Company expects that resolution of the site-specific compliance deficiencies will clear a pathway for FDA to approve the DefenCath NDA.

CMO 1 + API 1: This scenario potentially remains the fastest pathway to NDA resubmission and approval, provided FDA concurs that CMO 1 has remediated its compliance deficiencies and that the DMF for API 1 can be utilized prior to full resolution of the existing warning letter. CorMedix hopes to obtain guidance from FDA on these two important issues in a Type A meeting. The Company intends to resubmit the application as soon as possible following FDA’s positive guidance on these two issues. Given that no new data would be contained in this resubmission, provided no additional site inspections are required, the Company believes this may be classified as a Class 1 submission with a 60-day review.

CorMedix Form 8-K, filed April 26, 2023

Based on guidance from FDA, CorMedix will resubmit the NDA with manufacturing data generated at CMO 1 and utilizing both the existing source of heparin API (“API 1”) as well as a new supplier of Heparin API (“API 2”). The Company has completed the validation of the manufacturing process using API 2, and believes all batches have met product specifications. Data for submission are currently available and resubmission is targeted for mid-May following receipt of final Type A meeting minutes. As part of validation of manufacturing with this API, the Company will be adding a 3 mL single-dose vial to its 5 mL commercial presentation to meet market preferences and demand. As the submission will contain new manufacturing information, the Company expects it to be classified as a Class 2 resubmission with a 6-month review.
